## What is CVE-2026-47118?

CVE-2026-47118 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in 3clyp50 agent-zero, published on 27 May 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

Agent Zero before version 1.15 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying crafted paths to the image file serving endpoint, which relies solely on an extension allowlist while the path containment check is explicitly disabled. Attackers can request any file with an image extension readable by the process, including files outside the agent workspace, user home directories, and mounted volumes, and can also leverage symlink-based escapes due to the lack of path canonicalization in the path resolution logic.

Weakness: CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory)

Affected product: 3clyp50 agent-zero. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
